Hunt Plumbing And Heating INC provides sewer line repair for homes and businesses in Needham, MA. When the main sewer line fails, every drain in the house is affected. We find the problem in your sewer line and repair it so wastewater flows away safely.
Much of Needham's housing is mid-century or older — 45% of homes were built before 1960 (median year built: 1965). Sewer laterals in mid-century homes are often decades old, so roots and joint problems are worth ruling out when drains back up.

Good to know about sewer line repair
Under Title 5 (310 CMR 15.301), a septic system must be inspected at or within two years prior to the transfer of title (up to three years if pumping records show annual pumping), and inspections must be done by a currently approved System Inspector.
law.cornell.eduSewer pipe repair or replacement is plumbing work requiring a permit from the local Inspector under 248 CMR 3.05, issued only to properly licensed individuals; the Inspector may require rough and final inspections and a test.
law.cornell.eduFEMA recommends having a licensed plumber inspect and clean the sewer lateral from the home to the municipal system to remove debris and tree roots, and notes that many laterals in older homes are clay or cast iron that can be replaced with modern materials resistant to root intrusion, corrosion and fractures.
